WARRANTY
A two-year warranty for the Danish
manufactured BODY BIKE Indoor Cycle:
A two-year warranty against manufacturing
defects, excluding normal wear and tear, is
given for the fl ywheel and pulley. A three-
year warranty is given on the crank and the
pedal arms, and a fi ve year warranty is given
against frame breakage.
Consumable items (such as the poly V-belt,
brake pad, handlebar rubber, saddle and
pedals, etc.) which are subject to continuous
wear and tear, are not covered by a warranty.
There is currently no warranty applying to
the pedals.
The warranty only applies to cycles
equipped with original BODY BIKE spare
parts. All warranties are cancelled if the cycle
has been modifi ed or in any way not used as
intended.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Wipe off the cycles after EVERY use
ALWAYS loosen all handles and release
tension after use
The rubber feet should always be adjusted
to ensure that the cycle is in level
Every other year the rubber feet should
be replaced as the rubber hardens and
becomes unable to absorb the impact
Tighten up the pedals every 14 days or
every month to avoid them getting loose
or breaking off.
Pedals should be changed once a year
DO NOT perform stretch exercises on the
cycle, pedals or up against the cycle, except
against the strech plate at the rear end of
the cycle
DO NOT switch the front or seat post from
one cycle to another
DO NOT lift the cycle by the saddle

UNPACKING THE PALLET
1) Begin with opening the top of the box.
2) Remove all the unmounted parts.
3) Flatten the box on the fl oor next to the
pallet.
4) Loosen the two screws mounting the
fi rst cycle to the pallet.
5) Lift the cycle off the pallet and place it
on the fl attened box to spare your fl oor
from getting marks.
7
Do not over-
tighten the nuts.
They should only
be hand tight.

BOTTOM FRAME
A fi xing tool can be bought at BODY BIKE International
A/S to ease the mounting of the bottom frame.
1. Arrange the bottom frames parallel on the fl oor next
to the cycle with the correct mounting distance between
them, see fi gure 2. On the front bottom frame, the
transport wheels should point forward.
2. Take hold of the front post and seat post and lift the
cycle onto the bottom frames, see fi gure 2. Ensure that the
holes in the frame match the holes in the bottom frames.
3: Put on the spring lock washer and the cap nut and
tighten by using a 13 mm wrench, see fi gure 3.
4: Unscrew the rubber feet a little. Place the cycle in the
correct position. Turn them up and down until the cycle
stands properly and it is in level.
HANDLEBAR
1: Place the handlebar on top of the front post.
2: Screw an adjustment handle (size 32mm) clockwise into
the socket from underneath the post, see fi gure 1. Fix the
handlebar completely to the front post by tightening the
adjustment screw on the side of the handlebar.
Figure 3
I N DOOR CYCLE
SADDLE
1: Place the saddle in the track on the
seat post.
2: Secure the saddle with the remain-
ing adjustment handle, see fi gure 4.
To fasten the saddle to the adaptor
and adjust the tilt of the saddle use
a 14 mm wrench on the bolt marked
with an A on fi gure 4.
PEDALS
1: Place the right pedal arm with the
socket pointing upwards, see fi gure 5.
2: Put maximum resistance on the
brake, so the pedalarm is unable to
rotate, see fi gure 6.
Figure 7

Please note
- the pedals are marked with
R for Right and L for Left side.
- the pedals should always be
screwed on in the direction
of the handlebar, see fi gure 7.
- make sure that the hole
in the pedal arm is greased
when mounting the pedal.
- start mounting the pedal by
hand as tools will tighten the
pedal at a wrong angle.

MAINTENANCE
After each workout, wipe the cycle down
with tissue paper.
If the cycle is covered in sweat or dirt, use
water in a spray bottle and if necessary a
tissue with some washing-up liquid.
Remember handlebar and saddle.
NEVER use alcohol or chemicals
To make the cycle look its best, use a cloth
with a little vaseline oil on all parts except
the handlebar and saddle.
Always make sure that the small hole by
the front bottom frame is not blocked and
allows water and sweat to exit the frame,
see fi gure 8.

Every 3 months the handles need cleaning and grease
to protect the parts from sweat, dust, dirt and water.
1: Remove the adjustment handle and disassemble
the handle completely into a screw, a spring, a
handlegrip, a main screw and a brass washer, see
fi gure 9.
2: Clean all the parts thoroughly one by one using a
steel brush. If the residue is extreme, a sharp object
can be used, for example a screwdriver.
3: Lubricate the internal parts with grease before
Figure 9
reassembling the handle. Remember to lubricate
inside the handle as well.
4: Reassemble the handle by inserting the main
screw in the handle grip.
5: The spring is inserted into the top of the handle
and fi xed in place with the remaining screw.
6: Tighten with a 5mm Allen wrench.
7: Add grease to the main screw before mounting
it on the cycle.
By pulling the handle it can
be turned freely.
Please note
Never use a tool when
tightening the adjustment
handle on the cycle.

CLEANING THE POSTS
Every other week the posts need cleaning to
protect them from sweat etc.
1: Pull out the seat post and the front post
and wipe them clean with an oily cloth, see
fi gure 10.
If there is a slight sideways play in the front
post you can adjust it on both sides of the
cycle with the screws marked with an S on
fi gure 10. This adjustment has to be very
subtle in order for the post still to be able to
move up and down.

Figure 10
Please note:
The posts should be cleaned every
other week to keep them in good
condition
If the belt does not catch hold of the fl ywheel, it is time
for it to be tightened.
1: Remove the service hatch on both sides of the cycle
with a screwdriver, see fi gure 11.
2: Loosen the bolts (1) on both sides of the cycle with a
19 mm wrench, see fi gure 12
3: Loosen the nuts (2) on the counter bolt on both sides
of the cycle with a 10 mm wrench, see fi gure 12.
4: Use a wrench to tighten the counter bolts (3). On the
right side, the tool should be pulled downwards and on
the left side upwards to tighten with a 10 mm wrench.
5: The belt should be tightened to approximately 125
kg/229 Hz. To measure this, a special device can be
bought at your local BODY BIKE Distributor.
SERVICE HATCH

Please note:
The belt should be equally tightened
on both sides.
The fl ywheel should be parallel with
the long main side member.

6: Tighten the counter bolt (2) on both sides of the cycle
again.
7: And tighten the bolt(1) again on both sides of the
cycle.
8: Close the cycle by fastening the two hatches again.
REPLACING THE BRAKE BLOCK
The BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad has an expected
durability of a minimum of 1500 hours, so eventually
the brake pad will be worn.
To ensure that the brake pad is correctly mounted, it
has been pre-fi tted to the block, and it is only possible
to purchase the complete brake block.
To get to the brake block, it is necessary to remove the
right side cover from the cycle.
1: Loosen all the screws in the side cover and remove
them as well as the bottle holder.
2: Remove the side cover by placing the right pedal
arm in the position of 7 o’clock. Then slide the side
cover down and left over the pedal arm.

3: Release tension completely on the brake.
4: Remove the two screws holding the
brake block to the frame by using an 8 mm
wrench, see fi gure 13.
5: Take the new brake block and fasten it to
the frame by tightening the screw closest
to the brake block. Then place the block in
the correct position under the brake, see
fi gure 14.
6: Fasten the remaining screw furthest
away from the block, and then make sure
that both screws are tightened properly,
see fi gure 15.
7: Grease should be applied to the cavity on
top of the brake block or to the top nut on
the brake to ensure a smooth interaction
between the two.
8: Finally, remount the side cover by
screwing in the corner screws fi rst.
Hereafter the remaining screws.

How to keep the cycles in good condition?
It is a good idea to place a board at the exit of the
spinning room displaying all cycle numbers. Here
people can write possible problems or concerns
arisen during the exercise. In this way, the people
who are servicing the cycles can get up-dated
regularly on how the cycles are performing, and
problems can be identifi ed before they turn critical.
